Worlds Cheapest Laptop may just be the worlds cheapest laptop


Weve gotta admire the functional naming here. "Worlds Cheapest Laptop." Hard to get that one confused with the worlds almost-cheapest laptop, or similar pretenders. From what we can glean from this laptops Alibaba page, its built by Impulse, sports an NPX-9000 model number, and gives new meaning to the term craptop when it comes to specs. The 7-inch screen is accompanied by a 400MHz, MIPS processor, 128MB of RAM, 1GB of flash storage, and a few USB ports and an SD card slot. Youll be filling up one of those ports with a WiFi dongle, and were guessing that SD card slot will be your lifeline for storing just about everything that isnt the Linux operating system. The wholesale price is $130 US, with a 50 unit minimum purchase. $6,500 for a laptop for you and 49 of your closest frenemies? Were sold.
